This is the beautiful Isle of Gigha, after which I am named. It's a small Hebridean island off the west coast of Scotland. A 20 minute ferry ride will take you to this beautiful, island with soft sandy beaches and a mild climate and higher than average sunshine.
Gigha has a long history, having been inhabited continuously since prehistoric times and is the ancestral home of Clan MacNeill. It fell under the control of the Norse and the Lords of the Isles before becoming incorporated into modern Scotland and saw a variety of conflicts during the medieval period.
I first visited the island way back in 1987. Last June we spent a week camping on Gigha and enjoying the Isle of Gigha Music Festival as part of our 2000 mile UK tour in our 1974 Volkswagen.
